Abstract

A system is described for providing an interface for collaborative innovation. The system may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store an item, primary responses, secondary responses and ratings. The interface may communicate with users and a content provider and may allow the users to create primary responses associated with the item, create secondary responses associated with the primary responses and rate the primary and secondary responses. The processor may receive the item from the content provider and provide the interface to the users. The processor may receive the primary and secondary responses from the users, and may display a graphical hierarchical representation of the item and the responses. The processor may allow the users to rate the primary and secondary responses through the graphical hierarchical representation. The processor may provide the primary and secondary responses to the content provider, ordered based on the ratings.
